Amusing or tasteless? Or both? Anthropomorphic taxidermy set to go under the auctioneer's hammer

                                                          

Queen Victoria was said to have been 'amused' by  anthropomorphic taxidermy. If so, she would doubtless have allowed herself a chuckle at two pieces that are due to go under the hammer tomorrow (Friday December 15) at a sale being conducted by Tennants of Leyburn  in Yorkshire. Bidding is expected to be brisk. The fox is expected to fetch between £600 and £800, while the pre-sale  guide price for the badger  is £500-£700.
